1 IX Geography CHEPTER 6 : POPULATION Introduction: The people are important to develop the economy and society. The people make and use resources and are themselves resources with varying quality. Resources, calamities and disasters are all meaningful only in relation to human beings. Their numbers, distribution, growth and characteristics or qualities provide the basic background for understanding and appreciating all aspects of the environment. Human beings producers and consumers of earth s resources. Therefore, it is important to know how many people are there in a country, where do they live, how and why their numbers are increasing and what are their characteristics. POPULATION SIZE AND DISTRIBUTION POPULATION GROWTH AND PROCESSES OF POPULATION CHANGE Population Growth: Growth of population refers to the change in the number of inhabitants of a country/territory during a specific period of time. Processes of Population Change/Growth 1. Birth rate is the number of live births per thousand persons in a year. It is a major component of growth because in India, birth rates have always been higher than death rates. 2. Death rate is the number of deaths per thousand persons in a year. The main cause of the rate of growth of the Indian population has been the rapid decline in death rates. 3. Migration is the movement of people across regions and territories. Migration can be internal (within the country) or international (between the countries). Age Composition: The age composition of a population refers to the number of people in different age groups in a country. It is one of the most basic characteristics of a population.the population of a nation is generally grouped into three broad categories: 1. Children (generally below 15 years)they are economically unproductive and need to be provided with food, clothing, education and medical care. 2. Working Age (15-59 years)they are economically productive and biologically reproductive. They comprise the working population. 3. Aged (Above 59 years)they can be economically productive though they may have retired. They may be working voluntarily but they are not available for employment through recruitment. Sex Ratio. Sex ratio is defined as the number of females per 1000 males in the population. This information is an important social indicator to measure the extent of equality between males and females in a society at a given time. Literacy Rates: Literacy is a very important quality of a population. Obviously, only an informed and educated citizen can make intelligent choices and undertake research and development projects. Low levels of literacy are a serious obstacle for economic improvement. Occupational Structure: The percentage of population that is economically active is an important index of development. The distribution of the population according to different types of occupation is referred to as the occupational structure w w w. j s u n i l t u t o r i a l. w e e b l y. c o m / Page 1
2 Primary activities include agriculture, animal husbandry, forestry, fishing, mining and quarrying etc. Secondary activities include manufacturing industry, building and construction work etc. Tertiary activities include transport, communications, commerce, administration and other services. Health : Health is an important component of population composition, which affects the process of development. Sustained efforts of government programmes have registered significant improvements in the health conditions of the Indian population. Adolescent Population: The most significant feature of the Indian population is the size of its adolescent population. It constitutes one-fifth of the total population of India. Adolescents are generally grouped in the age-group of 10 to 19 years. They are the most important resource for the future. National Population Policy: Recognising that the planning of families would improve individual health and welfare, the Government of India initiated the comprehensive Family Planning Programme in The Family Welfare Programme has sought to promote responsible and planned parenthood on a voluntary basis. NPP 2000 and Adolescents: NPP 2000 identified adolescents as one of the major sections of the population that need greater attention. Besides nutritional requirements, the policy put greater emphasis on other important needs of adolescents including protection from unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases (STD). It called for programmes that aim towards encouraging delayed marriage and child-bearing, education of adolescents about the risks of unprotected sex, making contraceptive services accessible and affordable, providing food supplements, nutritional services, strengthening legal measures to prevent child marriage.
